The Natural Programming Project is working on making programming languages, APIs, and
environments easier to learn, more effective, and less error prone. We are
taking a human-centered approach, first studying how people perform their
tasks and then designing languages, APIs, and environments around people's natural tendencies. We focus on all kinds of programming, including professional programmers, novice programmers who are trying to learn to be experts, and end-user programmers (EUPs), who program to support other jobs or hobbies, such as multimedia authoring, simulations, teaching, prototyping, and other activities supported by computing.
